Code Speech doesn't pick up my voice

[vadim-su]

Type: Bug

When I click on mic sign and text changes to 'I'm listening...' it doesn't recognize my voice or any sounds. An extension output is empty. Discord and Slack work well.

Extension version: 0.2.0 VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.85.0-insider (64783a4eb9e896feadb2cbbd767b7ba8013980ee, 2023-11-10T05:35:08.076Z) OS version: Linux x64 6.6.1-zen1-1-zen Modes:

Can you enable trace log level for the extension and see what is printed in its output channel?

Hey @bpasero, thank you for the fast reply

Looks like the library we are using does not pick up any volume from the microphone, are you sure the volume is high enough? I think you can configure that in the OS settings.

Oh, and what Linux distribution is this?

[vadim-su]

Yes the microphone works correctly in other applications

I have two mics. Could this possibly be the cause of the problem? The distro is Arch Linux.

I also gathered some information from pulse audio.

pacmd list-sources

```logs pacmd list-sources | grep -e 'index:' -e device.string -e 'name:' index: 0 name: device.string = "0" index: 1 name: device.string = "2" index: 2 name: device.string = "2" index: 3 name: device.string = "2" index: 4 name: device.string = "_ucm0003.hw:Audio,2" index: 5 name: device.string = "_ucm0003.hw:Audio,1" index: 6 name: device.string = "front:3" index: 7 name: device.string = "4" * index: 8 name: device.string = "front:4" ```

The underlying library we are using for speech recognition may not support Arch Linux:

I see Maybe https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-speech-sdk/issues/2032 somehow related?

[vadim-su]

Please feel free to ask me if you need any assistance or additional info

[bpasero]

@suharnikov are you possibly having multiple microphones connected to your machine and could try to unplug all except the one you want to use for recording and try again?
